Bowser eats like a little tank already wide verity’s of food but can’t get him to eat Timothy hay he just does not like it! Lol any tips I’ve soaked it but still won’t touch it. I thought maybe putting it in watermelon juice would that be okay.

Bowser is to young for any types of hay. If that is carrots in the picture, feed very limited or not at all.There is to much sugar content. You should feed Bowser food in a terracotta dish, so he doesn't eat the substrate also. He looks great, it's nice to see someone that really wants a good home for their tort. 😁

We even told the vet what all we was feeling him he did it all was great thank you carrots are off the daily menu. I appreciate all the help and guidance.

The tortoises usually won't eat hay until they are bigger. My sully didn't bother with it until he was over 2 years old.
 
When Bowser gets bigger you might try Mazuri tortoise diet. To get the proper vitamins. Mazuri makes 2 types, 5m21 and Mazuri LS. The LS stands for low starch. Talking to Mazuri about a year ago on a different topic. They told me they were going to change the ingredients in the LS. To make it more desirable to tortoises. I don't know if they ever did.
 
I bought them hay and grass pellets and wet them for my marginated, they are zoomed I think. Maybe try putting them on some of the greens they have added vitamins.
